Machar's Cathedral, also known as St Machar's Cathedral, is a historic church located in the old Aberdeen area of Aberdeen, Scotland. While the Cathedral itself is not associated with a specific culinary tradition, Aberdeen itself has a rich food history that has evolved over centuries. Aberdeen was once known for its fishing industry, which influenced the local cuisine with seafood being a staple part of the diet. While the cathedral has been a place of worship and community gatherings, the area around it would have seen its share of local food markets and feasts throughout history.
